Based on previous investigations, we have proposed two different methods
to extend lattice-valued fuzzy connectives (t-norms, t-conorms, negations
and implications) and other related operators, considering a generalized ...

In this paper, a linearly polarized low profile and asymmetric Bull’s-Eye leaky wave antenna fed by a monopole operating at 13 GHz is presented. Broadside radiation from the monopole is achieved by surrounding it with an ...

Density is an important wood mechanical property and an indicator of xylem architecture
and hydraulic conductivity. It can be influenced by forest management and climate. We studied the
impact of thinning and climate ...

The discovery of extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through patterned
metallic foils in the late 1990s was decisive for the development of plasmonics
and cleared the path to employ small apertures for a variety of ...

Urban forestry is increasingly used as a tool for climate change mitigation and for providing environmental services to inhabitants of urban areas. However, tree species used in urban forestry are usually different from ...

To facilitate the reintroduction of five native late-successional Taiwanese Fagaceae species
into Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica (D.) Don) plantations, we experimented with methods to
alleviate their establishment ...

The environmental impact of irrigated agriculture on water quality was assessed in Landazuria watershed (Navarre, northeast Spain), a 479.5 ha watershed with 53% of irrigated agricultural land. In the framework of a long-term ...

In this work, a metasurface with unconventional angular performance and composed by a nonbianisotropic complementary split ring resonator (NB-CSRR) is analyzed numerically and experimentally. A numerical study comparing ...

In this work, the behavior of a Complementary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) operating within the
quasi-static resonance regime and embedded in a composite stratified Substrate Integrated
Waveguide (SIW) with two different ...

A full metallic Bull’s-Eye (BE) antenna operating at 60 GHz is numerically and experimentally analyzed. The antenna presents wide grooves, rather than narrow ones, which support higher order resonances that lead to a large ...

A major problem in modern dendrochronology is that the methods traditionally used for linking tree ring growth data to climate records are not well suited to reconstructing low-frequency climatic variations. In this study, ...

An important issue in thermoelectric generators is the thermal design of the heat exchangers since it can improve their performance by increasing the heat absorbed or dissipated by the thermoelectric modules. Due to its ...

Private sales clubs are a novel service institution arising out of the Internet’s ability to allow an exclusively online channel to distribute out of season or out of fashion inventories to a large set of customers. They ...

Waste heat generation has a widespread presence into daily applications, however, due to the low-temperature grade which presents, its exploitation with the most common technologies is complicated.
Thermoelectricity ...

Thermoelectric generation contributes to obtain a more sustainable energetic system giving its potential to harvest waste heat and convert it into electric power. In the present study a computational optimal net generation ...

Background: Work-related injuries of the shoulder complex represent a challenge for clinicians because of the
large variety of clinical entities involved and the broad anatomic structures that can be affected. ...
